semion 2,192 Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) I agree to point Baggy, but I think it’s got to the stage of. ‘ some people are on the pitch, they think it’s all over’ You can fill in the rest around heat 11 on Monday Edited September 25, 2018 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odds On 373 Posted September 25, 2018 what a cracking team Kings Lynn have, very strong and entertaining. Palm Toft just looked class all night. R Lambert just oozes class and sublime in heats 13 and 15. Kings Lynns team manger should be applauded for trying to keep people apart. Belle Vue's track should be on the GP calendar, easily the best track in terms of racing and excitement in the UK. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 25, 2018 As a neutral I can say there is absolutely no chance of Belle Vue making it through to the final. It’s called a foregone conclusion, meaning “a result that can be predicted with certainty”. Belle Vue fought well but once the Lynn riders got dialled in to the track there was only one team in it. Even if Cook declares himself fit to ride it won’t make any difference. I am reading some Lynn fans not wanting to count their chickens before they have hatched but really, they surely have to believe the job is done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted September 25, 2018 Who ever rides king's Lynn in the final if they get there of course it will be hard when you got a rider at reserve who can score 18+1 from 7 rides just an opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedball 564 Posted September 25, 2018 Delighted to come away with any sort of lead after the first 7 heats. It would be a collapse of the highest order if we cock this up. Enjoyed my first trip to the NSS, great track and facilities (had a meal in the Peter Craven Suite before the meeting). MPT really was the saviour last night. One of the best thing about this Stars side is that someone always steps up when the chips are down. Much more character, resilience and bottle in this side compared to last season. Don’t think we’ve had a meeting when all 7 have really clicked at the same time yet. Would be good if that happened a couple of times over the next month. Also nice to go to a meeting with a bit of an atmosphere though a few peaked to soon with the “easy easy” chants early on. Plenty of stick for Lambert which he answered in perfect style in 13 & 15. All good fun though. Roll on Monday! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Them meetings mean nothing to what can be expected if these two teams meet in the final. You can rest assured both teams will be applying more ability and desire to win a play-off final. No doubt both teams will be giving it their all and whoever wins will be after a closely fought encounter separated by only a few points. Them who think it will be anything else are kidding themselves...…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting how we see things different ways, I thought the team manager got involved where he shouldn't have done & inflamed the situation, which had pretty well calmed down anyway!

Ok we can forget those meetings then When Poole went to Lynn and lost by 2 PalmToft got 5 Worrall top scored last time for Poole at Lynn as a heat leader..... he is now at reserve. Poole fans on here going overboard a bit I think. Over the 2 meetings I would expect the Poole reserves to hugely outscore King’s Lynns. Lambert has had 10 rides at Poole and scored 1 point! Poole and Lynn have been built differently, Poole rely on a big hitting reserve and 5 riders if similar average , while Lynn have the strong top 5. If Pooles top two keep Lambert and NKI scores down then Poole will win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
